Hey everyone, quick question here. How much does it cost to take the ACT? I've been seeing different numbers floating around, is there a fixed price for it? Would love any info you can share, thanks!
Sure, I can help you with that. The cost of the ACT varies based on two main factors - whether you're taking it with or without the writing section, and whether you're a United States examinee or an international examinee.
For US examinees:
- The ACT without Writing costs $68.
- The ACT with Writing costs $93.
For international examinees:
- The ACT without Writing costs $186.50.
- The ACT with Writing costs $211.50.
These prices include registration for one test date, score reports for up to four college choices, and the option to send a digital photo.
Do note that additional services like late registration or changing your test date, test centre, or the test form (ACT to ACT with Writing, or vice versa) can incur additional costs. Fee waivers are available for those who qualify.
Remember, the decision to take the ACT with or without Writing largely depends on the requirements of the colleges you're planning to apply to. It's always a good idea to check that out before registering for the test.
